Re: VMware Site Recovery Manager
Hi,
I see that you've already created a support request which would be my recommendation. Let's hope GSS quickly can identify and fix this issue.

automating vRealize Operations Multi-node analytics cluster failover
first off i should say I'm new to working with SRM, I'm currently in the process of configuring an SRM recovery plan for a 4 node (master, replicate and two data node) vROPS analytics cluster.
I am currently using the below to automate the changes to the IP config on each of the appliances / nodes
/opt/vmware/share/vami/vami_set_network eth0 STATICV4 xx.xx.xx.xx 255.255.255.240 xx.xx.xx.xx && reboot
Then using the details in https://docs.vmware.com/en/vRealize-Suite/7.0/com.vmware.vrsuite.srm.doc/GUID-F3CC4642-4F89-4249-8C56-D676B1015DED.html
I know i then need to make the following changes on the vm once its started to be recovered on the dr site:
$VMWARE_PYTHON_BIN /usr/lib/vmware-vcopssuite/utilities/sliceConfiguration/bin/vcopsConfigureRoles.py --action bringSliceOffline --offlineReason "SRM Failover" service vmware-casa stop ##Need to automate changes to $VCOPS_BASE/user/conf/cassandra/cassandra.yaml service vmware-casa start $VMWARE_PYTHON_BIN /usr/lib/vmware-vcopssuite/utilities/sliceConfiguration/bin/vcopsConfigureRoles.py --adminCS xx.xx.xx.xx, xx.xx.xx.xx $VMWARE_PYTHON_BIN /usr/lib/vmware-vcopssuite/utilities/sliceConfiguration/bin/vcopsConfigureRoles.py --action bringSliceOnline
What i am struggling with is how to pass these commands through to the vm from SRM itself and in particular how best to deal with the cassandara yaml updates.
i am hoping this has been dealt with plenty of times previously and that someone can point me in the right direct.

Procedure for declaring DR using SRA
Hi,
When we declare DR in SRM we understand that primary storage will not replicate data to secondary storage.
Question 1:
But in a NOT DR scenario, a synchronously synchronized storage, can I use the SRM (Test) option without having to disable storage synchronization?
Question 2:
I want to simulate a DR scenario in real practice.
Knowing this is not a true DR, as I will actually simulate the production VM shutdown before declaring DR in SRM, do I have to disable or pause synchronous synchronization?
Thank you.

Re: Failback with SPPG
Hi,
I performed a planned one.
I haven't reached this re-protection stage yet. I remember this option in training.
But my question is in rebuilding the main site, in case of a shutdown of the main site.
Imagine that I turned everything off at the main site and did a planned DR. Just hung up, didn't erase anything.
That is, do I have to reinstate the main site first (clean) to enable reprotec?
My goal is to show the end user how it works using a test server.
I want to show the end user what planned DR and reprotection will look like, but using only one test server.
Thank you.

Does SRM 8.1.x have Appliance deployment model
Hi Folks,
The intention is to deploy complete VMware Infrastructure components using appliance & vPosgres Database, this way we could keep the environment footprint slim and also benefit from Windows license.
Therefore, I would like to deploy VMware SRM 8.1.x for vCSA 6.5 U2 with External PSC.
Below thread states, we have SRM appliance from 8.1.2 but couldn't get any reference or download link from VMware site.
General questions - VCSA 6.7 with SRM 8.1
And in other site, SRM appliance is available for 8.1.0.1402.
http://vsphere-land.com/news/srm-deployed-as-an-appliance.html
If anybody could shed some light on it, would be great to finalize the design.

Re: Does SRM 8.1.x have Appliance deployment model
Starting in SRM 8.2 the appliance form factor is available.

VCenter and SRM Protection
Hello,
In a DR case, to reprotect the primary site must be available.
Does this mean that I need to install and reconfigure vcenter and srm on the main site and do all the configuration with srm from the DR site?
Or can I protect them using SRM?
Thank you.

Re: Remove VM from a Protection Group is greyed out.
Hi Gayathri,
I've got question on
"1. You are not connected to both SRM servers or one of the SRM servers is not responding"
What if one site is down, how can we remove the protected VM, since all action from the Protection Group is grey out?
We're trying to recover a VM using vSphere Replications but the "Recover VM" button is unavailable, since it is protected. So we tried to remove it from the Protection Group, but "Remove Protection" is also grey out, since the SRM server is down on the other site.
Thank You.

SRM permission Administrator role
Hi,
I accidentally changed the Administrator Role from the SRM Permission to "VRM virtual machine replication user". And now all actions from the SRM are not permitted. It also reflected on vSphere Roles, I able to revert the snapshot of vCenter server and PSC. But from the SRM permission the setting is still unable to modify. See picture. I'm trying to reinstall the SRM if the permission will be back to normal.
Thank You.

I have a requirement to build a new DR site with higher capacity than the existing one. I want to how best this can be done with minimal disruption through SRM ? Does SRM support shared protection site to multiple recovery site ?
I have a requirement to build a new DR site with higher capacity than the existing one. I want to how best this can be done with minimal disruption through SRM ? Does SRM support shared protection site to multiple recovery site ?
Scenario:
Existing protected site : carlstadt
Exisiting Recovery site : Philly
Now, The DC in Philly has limited resources to handle the DR capabilities of all production workloads.
So, a new DC has been setup in Denver.
New DR site : Denver
How can I go-ahead with SRM configuration to achieve the DR capabilities between Carlstadt and Denver ? Once the DR is setup between Carlstadt and Denver, we want to failover each protection groups from Carlstadt --> philly to Carlstadt --> Denver.
SRM version used : 8.1
Replication : Array based replication
I am happy to provide any additional requested details.

SRM & vSphere Replication 8.2 Appliance VAMI - How to change the HTTPS Certificate
Hi,
Does anyone know how/where to change the SRM & vSphere Replication 8.2 Appliance VAMI https certificates?
I have updated the main appliance certificates, with ones signed by my Enterprise CA, but I cannot find there they are updated for the VAMI interface?
I would appreciate any pointers.
Thanks

Re: SRM & vSphere Replication 8.2 Appliance VAMI - How to change the HTTPS Certificate
Hi,
SRM appliance VAMI uses the main appliance certificate. You may need to reload your browser after changing the certificate.
Hope this helps,

Re: SRM & vSphere Replication 8.2 Appliance VAMI - How to change the HTTPS Certificate
Thank you Daniel,
I am not sure what happened initially, as I did refresh my browser(s). It seems to be working now that I have restarted both the SRM & vSphere Replication appliances.
Follow up question... How do I import my Microsoft Windows Server Enterprise root & intermediate CA certificates into the SRM/vSphere Replication appliances Trusted Root Certificate Authority stores?
Many Thanks,
Martin

Re: SRM & vSphere Replication 8.2 Appliance VAMI - How to change the HTTPS Certificate
Thank you again Daniel,
I am still have a niggly issue with SRM when pairing sites, where the one site cannot validate the vCenter server certificate on the other site.
Steps I have taken:
1) I have reconfigured both of my vCenter server's VMCA's to be subordinate to my Enterprise CA, Both completed successfully and I can browse to either vCenter server without getting browser security errors.
2) I have added my Root CA and both vCenter VMCA CA certificates to the both SRM appliances & re-run c_rehash (without error). They now have trusted connection thumbprints - the same thumbprints as the SRM site pairing does NOT trust!
3) I have created CSR's, signed them (with my root CA) and installed PKCS #12 certificates for both SRM appliances. I restarted both appliances and I can browse to them without getting a browser security error.
Do my vCenter Servers need each others VMCA CA certificate importing? Just tried this and it still errors.
I do not have any SSO/ELM between vCenter servers?
I need a sanity check, can you see/think what have I missed?
vCenter Server Appliance Version - 6.7.0 Build 13007421
VMware SRM Appliance Version - 8.2.0 Build 14383138
vSphere Replication Appliance Version - 8.2.0.8989 Build 14338525

Hi all
If you use Google Chrome browser with your Site Recovery UI client and you face an issue that Chrome does not show neither the status bar nor the pages to go to at the bottom of the list and you cannot scroll or the Recent tasks bar disappears, this is a known issue, already fixed in patch SRM 8.2.0.1 - VMware Site Recovery Manager 8.2 Release Notes
and in vSphere Replication 8.2.0.1 - VMware vSphere Replication 8.2 Release Notes
You can upgrade any one of the solutions to 8.2.0.1 to resolve the issue.
